What's amazing is I didn't like lost at first, I remember watching the pilot and thinking "god this is crap", it wasn't until late season 1 when I really got into it

WHAT! Most people loved it from beginning till end of Season 1, at least. I myself has never stopped loving it.

The first episode I watched was "Numbers" and that got me into it!

Amazingly sad. For the last six years we've followed these characters and come June 2010, they're all gone :cry: Sure this show has had its lows, but I still love this show and the wonderful story that Lindelof and Cuse have given us.

All great things must come to an end though. There are shows out there that continue to shovel **** out just to continue to make money (The Simpsons). In my opinion there is no show past/current that even comes close to the brilliance that is LOST. I would rather it end in an amazing way than follow down the dollar sign.

yeah it's amazing that it's been almost six years...time flies like an Oceanic jet, and the results for most people are equally disasterous.

as for the show, no big hopes for the last season, i'm convinced at this point the main people behind the excellent first two seasons have moved on to other projects and the expanded team of writers don't know what they're doing. but then who knows, JJ might come back to be more involved now that both Cloverfield and Star Trek are behind him.

Not sure what you mean, the main people behind Lost when it started are still involved:

Damon Lindelof - writer

Carlton Cuse - writer

Jack Bender - director

Bryan Burk - executive producer

JJ also serves as executive producer and has had input from time to time IIRC.

Jeffrey Lieber was involved in the screen play for the pilot, but nothing else from there.

Other people write for the show, for sure, but the overall story that they wanted to tell when they created the show is still in play, and the fact that they were given shorter episode numbers for the last three seasons helped ensure that they keep focus in the episodes and not wander off like they did with several of them.

I almost gave up during the first half of season three. Lucky I didn't!

I thought the 2nd half of Season 3 was better than the first! (Well, minus the Nikki/Paulo episode)

Well, I felt that after the end date was announced (around the middle of season 3), the show bounced back big time. Most of the episodes (at least the flashbacks, if not the entire episode) after the then mid-season break and the Nikki/Paulo one were cringe-worthy, I felt. The episodes where Jack got tattooed and Claire was chasing pigeons were as bad as Nikki/Paulo ones. Desmond's time-flashing episode was a silver lining, though.

I don't know how people never liked the first episode :s

Even I didn't like it for much of the pilot. It felt like watching a rehash of the same old formula - getting marooned on a desolate island, fight with monstrous animals and finally the heroes will triumph over all odds and get rescued. :p

Really? I knew something was different, that's what made me love it. I mean, I liked then after Smokey started bringing down trees, you knew something was up. You better like the pilot now, because I'm 90% it will have something to do with this season again.

Once I realized that this was not just Cast Away with a bigger cast, there was no looking back. But it wasn't the sound of the monster ripping the trees or the pilot that gave that realization. Sure it did poke at my curiosity but nothing more. Rather it was the flashbacks, which hinted that the story didn't start with getting stuck on the island, and probably won't end with a rescue either. And the shot of Lock embracing the rain at the end of the first episode was intriguing.

On reminiscing the pilot scenes, I just realized that the Season 5 scene where Ben falls through the floor in the Temple(?) had a parallel in the Pilot itself. After Ben falls, fake-Locke goes away to seemingly to help him leaving Ben alone. Smokey and Alex then apparates and terrorizes Ben and when they leave fake-Locke returns as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.. When Jack, Kate and Charlie were escaping from the cockpit after the monster "ate" the pilot, Charlie falls, and Jack goes to help him leaving Kate alone. Smokey then terrorizes her till she tries out Jack's let-fear-in-but-only-for-five-seconds trick. Soon after, Jack returns as if nothing was wrong.

Probably there is nothing to this, but the coincidence(?) struck me!

I don't know how people never liked the first episode :s

...because it wasn't that great and as soumyasch it was the same usual marooned on island stuff but as I said later on in Season 1 beginning of Season 2 I knew it was good so I went back.

I was enthralled by the first episode for some reason. That being said, all the intricate back-stories and connections between episodes really did me in and there was no going back.

At that point Lost had become cooler than I had ever imagined. :p

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
